    Lots of people saying reading, what sort of things do people like to read? Genres? Favourite authors?

    I like crime or historical novels. Favorite authors include Ken Follet, J-C Grangé (French author who writes creepy-weird stuff), JK Rowlings, Maxime Chattam... I'm currently reading Stieg Larsson's The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest.

    I've tried lots of different things, but the ones I've stuck with are reading and knitting (SabrinaJL on Ravelry). I started taking spinning (the yarn kind), right before I started trying to lose weight. I told myself when I hit 50 lbs lost, I'd buy myself a spinning wheel. Now that I've reached that goal, I'm not sure I want another hobby that keeps me sitting on my butt. :laugh:

    Autobiographies of people I admire. I like Fiction but i also like books I can learn something from, or at least broaden my horizons. Dawkins has been a big influence on me.

    Just finished reading East of Eden by Steinbeck, if you haven't read it (you probably have) do! Catch 22 by Heller, and if you never read anything else read Nelson Mandelas Autobiography.

    i like to write random poems and songs that will never actually be sung, i like to read books from all different genres, i like to create dinners while pretending I'm on Top Chef doing a pantry challenge, and i love throwing dance parties in my living room with my son (making sure he grows up knowing how to do a proper Cabbage Patch of course) :smile:

    Working out
    Watching and reading about people making absolute fools of themselves daily in the name of "I'm right and you're not!"

    And, how it is that with all of the addicts I've seen on this thread, no one has said MFP is their hobby??? Are we deluding ourselves?

    Oh, yeah, I forgot one: deluding myself.

    Also, rationalizing. I'm a gifted rationalizer. My dream is to start a rationalization hotline where people call me and tell me a situation and I rationalize their laziness, paranoia, selfishness, etc. for them. then they feel better and they pay me for it. :-) For example: Caller: "Help! I just ate a pound of chocolate and I feel guilty and gross!" Me: "You must have needed the zinc."

    Spratt, I love you! This made my day right here!!! I always knew a chocolate craving was due to a deficiency in something :laugh:

    Working out, playing with my guns.....actually ones that go bang bang not my arms and coaching football. I wish those damn kids would listen to what I tell them the first time instead of waiting till the end of the season to actually do it.
